There's a movement inside of Healthcare to get the average Dr's office humming like a dentist. Which, if you're concerned with patient care at all, is impossible. You'll see it with posters saying only one issue per visit, which also greatly imperils the patient as sometimes a diagnosis will change based off one symptom. You've got a good attitude about this. Please share it

This is the product of clinics being owned by corporations chasing a specific return, and not being owned by a local group of physicians who actually want to care for people.

Shop local applies.

We get the same issue in Ontario with family health teams. The structure of the corporation matters, but so does the funding model

Sometimes I wonder though if it's because drs get to bill OHIP per visit as well so if you try to squeeze more than one complaint in in a visit then they only get to bill once.

That is what I meant by the funding model. What we're talking about is fee for service. More service equals more money. There's other funding models though.
